have been reduced. To make this
reduction is an imposition upon the
laboring men, for these capitalists are
too lazy to work, as q rule, and hence
the reduction gives the laboring man
$4 for 4 days OF labor when he might
have S6 or even $40. What an oppor-
tunity "The City Fathers had to COW
er themselves all over with glory.
Had they taken off their old rusty
spectacles which gave them bleared
vision and laid aside their moss-cover-
ed coats aud risen to the level of their
privilege and levied tax of fS115on the
800, and six days Of labor on the rich
as we'll as the poor, and then had APP
pointed some determined progressive
man, (say John Sanders) as street
commissioner to see that this tax was
wisely and honestly applied and these
days Of labor" faithfully performed
why the next generation, no, no, the
strangers who tarry at our gates would
inquire, who are the Aldermen of
Johnson City. They must be live men
and morever wise men. The dry
bones OF your councilmen, like those
seen in Ezekiels vision, must have
been breathed upon by new life and
a new wisdom Alas Alas! 1t might
have been.
There are indications that the chol-
era may visit our country this sum-
mer and our Association appointed q
Health committee to wait upon "The
City Fathers" " and impress upon them,
and also upon the public, the impor-
tance Of cleansing the cess-poolsof our
city and purifying its air by removing
the sources of corruption. Health is
a boon that we all appreciate. Let us
be willing to preserve it by being wise
in time. Let us use the ounce of pre-
vention. SPECTATOR,

And the notion makes him braves
I'm in love--I, gruif old feller!-
With girl as good as gold;
One with cheeks as rich and meller
As a peach too ripe tn hold.
She has hair the hue of nuggets
That we've washed from mountain streams
And her waist--I'd like to huff it,
AS sometimes do in dreams
On each little hand a dimple
Marks each knuckle as smile
sometimes marks the sweet and simple
Cheeks of girls not spoiled by style
And her voice-it seldom utters
Sounds you wouldn't like to hear

Some Remarks About RIushina

Blushing is a disease. No one
blushing for shame. While the wo-
man OF the world may wear cheeks Of
marble, the innocent country lass is
made red by being locked at. The
prejurer tells his story without a
change of color; the honest witness is
flushed and confeused by the lawyer
who is hired to suppress truth in
Courts of justice. Countless roses are
said to blush unseen. They are very
foolish.

Mrs, ,Langtry's admirers have lately
noticed sad falling off in her looks
as she rolls past them in her Victoria.
Her pallor and her languid air have
something to do with the change, but
some other reason had to be adduced
for the very marked differance in her
appearance. 1t now turns out that
the Jersey Lily has had her hair cut
in boy fashion. The experiment, in
the opinion OF the connoisseurs, has
not proved a success.
Ex-Speaker Keller, in his Grafton at
the unveiling of the Garfield statue,
said that Garfield, when first elected to
Congress in 1862, went in person to
President Lincoln and informed him
his purpose not to resign his majoI
generals commission, and asked to
be again assigned to duty in the field
The President listened attentively to
his statement, then kindly took him
by the hand and said Il can make
another Major General, but | cannot
make another Representative, and at
this juncture the government stands
in need Of heroic statesmen as well
as brave soldiers" The President
then added that he could not be spared
from Congress. Lincoln knew almost
intuitively where Garfield would be
most useful.

man knows that johnson City cannot
be more than a second class village
until it has streets and sidewalks
The impression seemed to be almost
if not altogether unanimous IN this
association (and it contains our live
men and best thinkers) that its alleys
! (miscalled streets) must be converted
into streets and the crooked place,
in them must be made straight-er
